Summary Quincy and Amber is a co-operative puzzle adventure game that can be experienced either by yourself or with a friend. Explore a large non-linear world of locations, each one filled with puzzles meticulously crafted to provide a formidable yet satisfying set of challenges. Work in co-operation with each other to overcome obstacles. Find the Fall Festival and finish the game. Excited yet? Concept of the game Quincy and Amber is divided into several locations that teach you a sort of "puzzle language". By that I mean that each location of puzzles is designed to teach you concepts that become useful in the way you approach other puzzles. For instance you might reach a puzzle in a location that you might find quite difficult to solve just because the game hasn't taught you the relevant concept yet. Conversely, when you are taught that puzzle concept in a different location of the game you can then come back to the location you were previously stuck at and think, "Wow, I actually know how to do this now", even if beforehand you may have considered the puzzle near impossible to solve. The game is trying to teach you a "language" of puzzle logic inside of this non-linear setting. The interesting thing about the puzzle logic is that it serves as a kind of locking mechanism to prevent you from accessing areas that break the story progression. This enables the game to have a completely non-linear setting while the only keys to unlock doors in the game are in your mind. The cooperative aspect of the game is handled so that both single player and multiplayer mode are enjoyable. Some puzzles benefit from real-time cooperation between two players in order to succeed. Conversely, there are puzzles that are also designed to be easier in single-player, similar to tying your own shoelaces being easier than having two people tie your shoes for you while each hold one shoelace. Story synopsis Quincy and Amber Forsh's parents ran to the hills when the Morg Raiders attacked. So for years the Forsh siblings garnered a self-sufficient living by doing errands for people around Miria and accepting regular food donations from the kind townspeople. It was a town that cared. As the Morg attacks became more frequent, Mirian population dropped, and the Forsh way of living quickly became unprofitable. Starving and lonely, Quincy and Amber decide to emigrate to nearby Dower at the peak of the fall festival. They don't know what waits in store...

Thanks for the playthrough, Indrah! I just missed the livestream, but you give me a lot to think about. Don't worry, the puzzles are just about to change to introduce an all-new mechanic. I plan to keep things very fresh instead of just the same old switches. As for story, I could definitely use help in that department. Perhaps when I'm finished with the gameplay, I can recruit someone to sort out characters and stuff for me.

Cheers! You're the best.
